XShape is designed to produce both surfaces and solids, Endersby explained. You can drag and drop the entire product into xShape. “It's now very close to be a commercial solution.” Subdivisional Modeler xShapeĪround the 1 hour 20 minutes into the keynote, Bassi delivered the second announcement.“The next application in the x-family is called xShape,” he said, as he launched into a demonstration.

We needed to learn how to provision and manage online CAD,” said Endersby. In these uncharted waters, however, the established brand competes on equal grounds with newcomers like Onshape, founded by a group of former SolidWorks executives. While the company has a long history in desktop CAD, SolidWorks is relatively new to browser-based CAD. The cloud-hosted xDesign, first announced in SolidWorks World 2016, now in beta, is in the hands of roughly 2,000 users, according to Endersby. What you buy from it will depend on your role and needs.” Updates on xDesign “Not that everybody will need to buy everything in Dot-Works. “The use of 3DEXPERIENCE platform is going to become more important for SOLIDWORKS users,” said Endersby. The assembly offers clues to how components in the Dot-Works setup might closely mirror their counterparts in parent company Dassault Systemes' portfolio.

Later, Bassi presented the panel of executives who are tasked with leading the Dot-Works initiative.

We're coming up with something that fits their needs.” The Pick-and-Choose Approach “The idea behind 3DEXPERIENCE.Works is to connect the SOLIDWORKS users to other products from Dassault Systèmes through the Dot-Works platform,” explained Stephen Endersby, director of product portfolio, SolidWorks.“The point is, we won't shoe-horn an Airbus-type solution into a small company's workflow. The manufacturers-many of them SolidWorks users-also gain the flexibility to rapidly scale up as a business grows,” wrote IQMS when announcing the acquisition. “By integrating IQMS’s solutions into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, Dassault Systèmes will provide these manufacturers with an affordable system for operations that improves the collaboration, manufacturing efficiency and business agility needed to serve their customers successfully. 3DEXPERIENCE.Works is made possible in large part by Dassault Systemes' $425 million acquisition of IQMS, a firm that focuses on small and midsize firms. The new offering is presented as a bundle to Plan, Design, Simulate and Manufacture. We want to offer you this amazing concentration of knowledge, technology and know-how,” he said. The entire world is heading in that direction. The New Dot-Works PlatformĪbout 30 minutes into the keynote, Bassi made the first major announcement.

It's generating a configuration.SolidWorks CEO Gian Paolo Bassi delivers his keynote at SWW2019. You can also have a 3DDrive Part that you can choose. I have a SOLIDWORKS Part file that I'd like to bring in. I've got SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, 3DXML, STEP, and IGES. And now you can see here I have some options for what file format I'd like to bring in or import. I'm going to click OK again to keep this in the collaborative space. I'm not going to save any of the changes that I've made 'cause I haven't done any yet. And I'm going to close the revisions, and now I'm going to go down to the Import option. I'm going to drop it in the collaborative space LinkedIn xDesign, click OK. I'm going to go ahead and close this out because I'm done working with this file, so I'm going to hit the Close icon over here. The last thing that remains here is importing some geometry into SOLIDWORKS xDesign.
